Dodgers get eleven hits today — all singles — but hit into three double plays, and Manny swings at the first pitch with the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the sixth, grounding out to third. After this morning's bad news, a tough day all around. Vin Scully's words on Jose Lima's passing coming soon.

Exhibiting why I don't follow NBA as closely as baseball. Home cooking on calls is so overt that it degrades the believability of the game itself. Why is so acceptable and so built into the game, where in, say, baseball or football, it would be an outrage if the home team got so many more calls its way?

LA Times writers are salivating to think of new ways - or recycle old ways - of maligning the Lakers instead of maligning the SHITTIEST Craig Sager outfit ever assembled. Watching NBA playoffs on TNT is almost impossible for me, and ruins my enjoyment.
